I'm thinking of my soul's sovereignty,
and I know everything you hate in me.
Fill me up with over-pious badgerings,
to throw them up, oh, one of my favorite things.
Remember all the lessons fed to me?
Me the young sponge, so ready to agree.
Years have gone; I recognize the walking dead,
now aware that I'm alive and way ahead.
Too bad the things that make you mad
are my favorite things.
And I'm so happy.
I see you looking, I know that you're thinking
that I'll never go anywhere.
The things that I've done and the things
that I've seen, I don't really expect you to care.
and I know everything you hate in me.
Fill me up with over-pious badgerings,
to throw them up, oh, one of my favorite things.
Remember all the lessons fed to me?
Me the young sponge, so ready to agree.
Years have gone; I recognize the walking dead,
now aware that I'm alive and way ahead.
Too bad the things that make you mad
are my favorite things.
And I'm so happy.
I see you looking, I know that you're thinking
that I'll never go anywhere.
The things that I've done and the things
that I've seen, I don't really expect you to care.

Love the tone... Like what's your prob? I'm just doin my thing here.... You don't like it, leave me alone. The end.
God never hates your favorite things, booyd said that he likes to imagine or think and this is sin according to religion, it is partially true, to understnd the fucntion behind we have to first undrstnd the real meaning of sin. Sin is not technically a crime but it is something which distracts you from main purpose of your life on earth. A sin is like a fast flowing stream in which if you step you will be cast away even be4 u know and at the very next moment you will be at a place where there are other streams inviting you to step into them a whole network of confusing , unclear and false streams which will never let you know wats going on.
So, if you do these favorite things of yours, you step into one of these streams and you get distracted from your main purpose which is god, and this is when evil easily picks you up and make you his puppet, and you never know, he takes advantage of your freewill, he just advice you to do something (evil whisper) and you do it. This is all completely phenomenal. If you think tht this world is like a huge ride like one of those in disney land, and god is operating it with the control panel front of him then you are insanely stupid and stereotypical.
It is absolutely right that we enjoy doing certain things which are considered as sins and then you think - "too bad things which makes you mad are my favorite things". Actually god is offering you a life which is far more pleasureful then this wretched life could ever be. its like trading your iron coins for real and rare diamonds. How could you say that certain things make you happy, when you didnt even taste real happiness? its like a person saying you can get best apple pie at chuck's, next corner he makes best in the world, and that person has never tasted the apple pies they serve at st. regis.
People who seeklogic bhind every thing, sadly have to get disappointed as to understand
logic behind god, they have to wait at least for 1000s of centuries as at that time they
might get a mind developed enough to understand and derive a logic behind theosophy.
Anyways, talking about freewill, many people or we can say almost all people do not even
understand the logic behind freewill (logic, which they seek so desperately!). Freewill is
not just liberty, its actually a curse casted upon humanity, now behold, not by god, but by
evil.
God created man in his own image, and he placed him in eden garden, took care of him, gave
him everything, liberty and profusion, now here comes the evil, he offered a fruit, this was
the fruit of knowledge, after consuming this fruit, the human was demotioned to earth.
You know why the consumption of that fruit is called original sin? because it was the origin
of every sins possible, i.e. evil knew that human is the most dear to god, and human is free
to do anything, and was placed in heaven, if I (evil) can bring human downt to earth, I can
set him far from god, and in that case, if human will practice his freewill he would be
committing a sin because he is no more in heaven (since dynamics of heaven and earth are
absolutely different, if you know what i mean). Now human falls to earth, not because god
expelled him to earth, but because this was the reaction to the action he performed by
eating the fruit, it was phenomenal, this is how exactly things happen these days, you have
freewill , you can obey or deny god, you can even deny his existence, cuz god has given you
freewill, he is not going to be angry or something, but as you would deny god, you will go
far from him, and thats when evil would claim you, look, its like you can go far from light,
but then you have to go in dark, you have to either choose light, or dark, if you chose one,
the other would be gone, there is no choice in between, this is again phenomenal this is how
this world is, it is phenomenal, look, to bring down human on earth, and to take advantage
of human's freewill is all evils plan, god is just, he is not gonna punish you even when you
gonna deny him or whatever, but then you whould be ready to serve evil, which is seriously
gonna be very painful, god never ordered humans to serve him, he always desired our love,
whch is more then enough for god, he has angels and uncountable servants for him who love
him and serve him with a passion we cant even match or cant even imagine.
Now I will address the question that if god exists.
You can mention countless no. of theories to falsify religion. including religion is
administrative conspiracy to govern people easily. If you are demanding proof that if
there's god , well here's your answer- there's no proof at all, and even if it is there, i
dont need it or m nt gonna explain it to you, cuz if you will make your choice based on
proofs , then you are a real stupid and a part of typical mass, since proofs can be created
and designed such tht they look real then the real, you say earth is round , cuz you studied
it, but have you ever seen it from space? you didnt see it yourself and you started
believing cuz you read it in some book and you have been hearing it reading it continuosly
around your world, so you start believing that earth is spherical, do you even know the real
meaning of proof? do you even know how to confirm things? you are a part of mass which can
easily fall for a carefully designed systematic propaganda. Next time you ask for proof only
when you are really capable of identifying the truth.
And here is th nutcracker, according to a psychological research, the people who condemn or
deny god are actually those who have a firm belief that there is god, and they condemn or
deny him to express their anger or dis satisfaction to god, exactly like children gets angry
with their parents and express their anger by saying that you are not my father or you dont
love me i know or something like that, or exactly like a lover who feels cheated or
neglected and then acts out of anger or dissatisfaction. So, you are totally wrong and out
of knowledge, a man should either have all knowledge or none, as the partial knowledge
brings disasters. however, you can still go on and bring up stupid facts and questions which
are not worth knowing and cant be answered respectively, but i hope that you will not at
least chose serving evil amen.
Brandon also stresses that he is against organized religion. And not only that, but how the minds of little kids are being engraved with how they are supposed to live before they are old enough to understand the situation. ("and you the young sponge, so ready to agree") and honestly i think thats the biggest thing. Whether you want to believe in God or not, thats up to you, but dont let anyone tell you what to believe.
